Eleanor grew up in Somerset and spent her early twenties working in local radio before moving into print journalism. She has contributed to regional magazines across the South West and now writes full-time from Bristol. Her pieces tend to focus on the quieter rhythms of British life — farmers' markets, neighbourhood cafés, seasonal cooking. She is a keen home cook and volunteers at a community garden on weekends.
